Next to the Arclight sits several culinary delights:1) The Le Cordon Bleu Kitchen Academy - on any given day, you can watch those cutie chefs preparing ratatouille and whatever else chef's make (I don't know what else they make, I've only seen Ratatouille) from the wide open glass windows open to the Arclight courtyard.2) Club Sushi - We don't know if this place is open or ever opened, but we love that the neon sign that makes the joint look like it played host to a sashimi food-fight between Jem & the Holograms and the Misfits.3) BoHo - the ultra-cool and stylish gastro-pub at the corner of Ivar & Vine, catty-corner from that other culinary delection, Jack-in-the-Box.And that, dearly beloved, is what we're gathered here to today to talk about, not Jack-in-the-Box, but BoHo! We love it! What is not to love? $4 Lindemans Framboise? Ultra-chill and modern-shabby-chic interior? Helpful and attentive servers? It was an early dismissal day for me, so JLG and I headed over around 4:30 pm. Happy Hour takes place in the bar area only, but there's plenty of seats at the bar and then in the surrounding booth seats. The scene was pretty quiet - all couples (either couple-couples or friend-couples) and we were served promptly. I downed a couple $4 Framboise (but of course!) and an order of Belgian fries while JLG enjoyed the $7 Apple St. Germain. Drinks were above par and the fries were tasty and served with a lemony aioli and super-sweet ketchup.

We’d definitely recommend this place – either for a pre-movie bite & drink or just a good spot to get to know someone (just don’t expect to meet them here, there didn’t seem to be many singles!).
